The forum will look at the images and information which are derivatives of this fictitious world, and examine its influence on cultural trends and inter-personal relations. It will also suggest how youths of today can transform their dreams into an impetus in life, and a tangible goal for the future. The speakers shall draw heavily from their own personal experiences, and interesting references will be made to the animations and comics from the on-going exhibition at the Singapore Art Museum “Fiction @ Love”, as well as familiar images from pop and cyber culture. 17 June (Saturday), 2.00 – 5.00pm, Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre, Level 3 |
